ABSTRACT:
This disclosure shows a device designed to facilitate the lubrication of the external surface of a shell casing prior to its being forcibly incserted into a constricting die, in order to be reconditioned for eventual reuse. The device, or shell lubricator, includes a rotatable rigid, cylindrical roller which faces an arcuate, rigid plate. Both of these are faced with a resilient, absorbent material, such as felt, which can hold a lubricating material, to a thickness such that a gap is left between them for the insertion of a shell casing. The shell casings are inserted one-by-one into the shell lubricator, whose rotating cylindrical roller drives them through the gap where they acquire the necessary coating of lubricating material.
